The Southeast Missouri University Foundation has announced a $40 million comprehensive campaign, the most ambitious fund-raising effort in the University’s history, to directly support current and future students.

The campaign, named “Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Success,” is focused on increasing scholarships and supporting programs and renovations that benefit students.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:The Faculty Senate endorses the following recommendations of the Professional Affairs Committee regarding the resolution of cases
where faculty have been, prior to the adoption of Bill 08-A-04, granted tenure without
promotion, or granted promotion without tenure:

In cases where a faculty member has been granted tenure but not promoted or has been
granted promotion but not tenure, it is the judgment of the Professional Affairs Committee
that such person should be granted that which they were not awarded if, and only if,
the criteria for the department in effect at the time of the submission and evaluation
of the dossier clearly and explicitly stated that the criteria and standards for applying those criteria in evaluating candidates for promotion and
tenure are identical.If the departmental criteria do not explicitly state this equivalence, then the faculty
member is expected to apply for that which he or she has not been granted should he
or she wish to achieve it.

Thus, we note, a faculty member who was awarded promotion after four years had not
– at that time – achieved the minimum requirement for tenure (previously six, but
now five years) and thus had not, at the time of being granted promotion, met the
minimum requirement of five years.While we recognize that this will, unfortunately, require that faculty members in
this position will have to re-assemble their dossiers for another round of submission
and application, we judge that the burden should not be too onerous since the dossier,
presumably, will simply need to be augmented with entries for the few months since
the previous application.

We also note that this does not suggest faculty who have been tenured for many years
under a set of old criteria should be considered for automatic promotion.Rather, such faculty will be expected to submit a dossier indicating that they meet
the current criteria for tenure and promotion to Associate Professor in order to be
granted the promotion.
